how would you combine the magentic field of a semi-circle connected to a semi-infinite line? The magnetic field is into the board in relation to the point charge and the magnetic field is out of the page in relation to the semi-infinite line.
Added by Francisca B.
Step 1
First, we need to determine the direction of the magnetic field created by the semi-circle. Since the magnetic field is into the board in relation to the point charge, we can use the right-hand rule to determine that the magnetic field will circulate clockwise Show more…

A straight (effectively infinite length) wire, carrying a current I, features a kink that is in the shape of a perfect semi-circle. The radius of the semi-circle is R. Use the Biot-Savart law to find the magnetic field strength at the centre of the semi-circle.
